Thank you for joining us at Snow Ball! This year’s historic occasion raised over $5.2 million for Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas. We are extremely grateful for your generosity!
CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF IMPACT
For 50 years, Snow Ball has been a legacy of love for Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas. This year, we are honored to celebrate that legacy through the 50th Annual Snow Ball gala on January 20, 2024 at the Overland Park Convention Center.
Snow Ball is a celebration of many months of hard work by teams of volunteers. Unique in the fact that there is NO fundraising at the event, Snow Ball truly sets itself apart as one of the biggest and best parties of the year.
Your participation – either through a Patron Gift or by attending – enables Catholic Charities to continue to provide help, hope and hospitality to the most vulnerable throughout our communities. Although Snow Ball raises significant funds, even if we raised more, there would still be needs in our community to be met.
Join us for this epic celebration of gratitude, love and life-changing hope!
Peter and Veronica Mallouk are the Presidents and Jack and Kathy Newman are the Honorary Presidents for the gala. The traditional black-tie in-person event will include a cocktail reception, formal sit-down dinner and dancing to live music from Emerald City Band.

YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
When you make a Patron Gift or purchase a ticket or table to Snow Ball, you are making an impact in the lives of those we serve across our 21-county service area. Here are a few ways that your support helps us carry out our mission:
$25 can help supply diapers to a child in need
$35 can provide food assistance to a family for a week
$50 can provide a month of transportation to a newly resettled refugee family
$100 can purchase a pack-n-play for a pregnant mother
$150 can provide a St. Rita Program graduate with scrubs and shoes for a new job in healthcare
$300 can help a struggling family pay rent and utilities for a month
90 cents of every dollar from a direct donation goes straight into Catholic Charities’ 30+ programs. Every year, the annual Snow Ball raises 50% of the private donations to Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas.
